Community Tasting Notes 9

  December 29, 2021 - Opened a magnum of this to work through over post-Christmas week. I side with Microbox and Lipton on this wine: pretty simple. Plausible as a regional wine but, as a 1er St. Denis, misses the mark by a lot. I opened another magnum for the winter holidays four or five years ago and it had a nice, bouncy texture that soothed the palate, but nothing of note in terms of depth or complexity. I have one more mag, and my best plan for it at this moment is to pour it into a massive, bubbling cauldron of beef bourguignon.

  November 27, 2015 - From magnum, served at Thanksgiving dinner: good structure, tannin density, acid backbone. Fruit is a bit low-key, less than you'd expect with a good 1er from MSD. No rush to drink, no harm in drinking. Good with the heavy TG fare.

  May 16, 2014 - After my recent experience with another bottle this is a pleasant surprise. eye: clear, ruby, translucent, 2mm fading, tears form quickly, but are fine and run slowly. nose: red cherry and red berries, sous bois. palate: medium body with good structure and weight, the fruit still lingers, tannins smooth, silky but privide a solid backbone. 17 Caudalie, stable. very enjoyable but not exactly multidimensional.
